There is a controversial issue in terms of whether progress is good or not. Some people think that progress suggests the brighter future because it introduces people something new and advacned. However, the others believe that progress is not always good because it makes conflict and discordance among people. I strongly agree with the latter because of a few reasons.
First, there are many points of veiw to look at the world. They include progress, conservation and neutrality. Of course, the progress has developed many invents for convenience of human life such as television, telephone, the computer and so on. Although they provide people convenience, it takes some people who are conservative long time to be familiar to them. It may be either because they have avoidance in acceptance of somethings new or because they have propensity to keep traditional things. To them, progress is not always good, rather than they may feel the progress theatening existance.
Second, the progress is so future-oriented that people may ignore or forget their pasts. Out of old saying, there is "The past is the mirror for the present". I think that the present is more important than the future. This is becasue the future is meaningless if the present does not exist. The progress tend to focus on the future to make advanced one. It may hamper that we look back to the past to learn the lesson. If people do not study the past, they will make the same mistake as they did at the past. Thus, the progess is not always good and people need to study their pasts. The important thing is to maintain the balance between the progress and conservation.
In conclusuon, when it comes to various propensities of people and importance of the past, it is hard to say that the progress is always good. When all people receive the progress and when they keep the balance, progree gives people good influences. | |
